At Watkins Glen I noticed my Oil Temp gauge was jacked, when the car was cold it read 220 degrees. Crazy high and obviously wrong. This concerned me greatly though on the track as I later saw the temp gauge buried at over 300 degrees. I think, at that moment, apoplectic shock is a better descriptor. Nonetheless, EFI Logics was at the track and Jack and I discussed. He confirmed that it was the sensor or harness itself.

I really like the Stri gauges. Well respected company, and the gauges look good, light and thin. This makes location and mounting much easier. I’m running AFR, Oil Temp, and Boost and find them easy to read quickly under racing and track conditions in shade or bright sun. Here’s a pic of the gauge type I’m using.

I contacted Marc at Auto-Tech Interiors, distributor for the Stri gauge line. This group is completely on top of their game, as Marc was both able to quickly diagnose my issue and help me identify what I needed to get the gauge operating properly. My setup includes a sensor that screws into the drain plug with a lead that routes through my firewall to and plugs to a harness for power and the gauge itself. Most helpful was ATI’s knowledge of the gauge application in my car and which specific version harness and sensor I needed as a replacement. The parts were reasonably priced and I had them in my hand in about 2 days. Installation was easy enough and, of course, the gauge worked properly again. Thanks Marc! All good.

Keep your gauge pack simple and thorough so that you can get the data you need quickly without fuss. Contact ATI here
